October 1st is No D Day.
In honor of the event, I won't just be blogging about something other than that topic. Let me see if I can finish this post without that letter. :) Channel my inner English major. My brain is its own thesaurus.
I want to talk about baking.
I am an okay cook. Better than okay, perhaps. But I am still in my infancy. I cook five nights a week. Six if you count that one night a week we reserve for leftovers. My week usually looks like this:
Su: big batch of something
M: leftovers
Tu: chicken
W: crockpot or soup
Th: chicken
F: pizza
Sa: sausage/pork
But I've been working on my baking skills recently.
Project of the Month: CAKE POPS
To begin, my mom bought me Bakerella's "Cake Pops" book. We went to Michael's to buy lollipop sticks & melts. But I have been saving the pretty purple coating melts for later this month, so I ran to the supermarket for cheap chocolate & vanilla coating - right on the baking aisle. Perfect for some test batches.
